So you need a fender, door, mirror and windshield. That's not too bad as far as deer damage goes. Atleast it's all stuff you can get at the local junk yard (possibly even in the same color) for about $100, minus the windshield of course (although if you have the tools and know how you can even get that). Depending on how much your deductable is and how much you really care about matching paint, I'd just replace the parts myself and not get the insurance company involved since it would count as a negative mark on your driving record most likely.

Back when I got T-boned in my Supra by a Dodge Intrepid a couple years ago I didn't call my insurance company (partly because I was going to repaint the car soon enough anyways and partly because my deductable was too much to justify paying it). I had to replace my drivers side door, fender, and mud flap. Total cost, $93 from the local U-Pull It.
